Dynamics of membrane adhesion : the role of polyethylene glycol spacers, ligand-receptor bond strength, and rupture pathway

Biological adhesion typically occurs through discrete cross bridges between complementary molecules on adjacent membranes. Here we report quantitative measurements of the binding distance between a lipid membrane functionalized with ligands on flexible polymer tether chains and a second membrane bea...
